Snowfall (2017) s02e05 Episode Script

1 I know what you've been doing, Franklin.
I know it's not just weed anymore.
You know how I feel about all of this.
You're welcome home when you stop.
Not too long ago, you were happy with just a few hundred dollars.
How we grow, huh? - Avi! - What - LAPD! - Don't move! Hello, officer.
I'll have the first load in the next couple of days.
She also tell you I'm done paying the other tax? The tax stays.
Unless you want the streets to know it was us that hit your family.
Cops were clearing an empty lot.
Alton didn't want to leave.
He's through the worst of the detox, but if he gets put back on the streets, chances are he runs right back to the bottle.
Chances are good of that no matter where he goes.
I'm done! Think that old bitch can satisfy you the way I do? She can do ten times what you ever could.
We started this.
Can't do this without you.
You gonna have to try.
We retaliate, the prison esés be after all of us.
Here's a deal I'm willing to make with you.
If you can figure out who did it, then we can talk about payback.
Her name is Soledad.
I brought her - 'cause we're gonna get married.
- This is an immigration raid! I got the paperwork.
Puto! INS thing end up doing what you hoped? The ice queen was very impressed.
She's starting to let me in.
Here.
No.
Race you.
Come on.
- It's time to go.
- Here.
Money.
Money.
Money.
Want some more? What the fuck? - Avi.
- Franklin.
You see? Money does fall from the sky.
Gimme one too! Mmm, Randy's donut.
You should have gotten a full dozen, Frankie.
I hear you can afford it.
Got my men to look around the neighborhood.
Seems you been selling those little rocks of yours everywhere.
I'm glad to see my absence didn't inconvenience you.
Yeah, well, my business can't stop just 'cause you got taken off the board.
I'm not mad that you found a new supplier, Frankie.
- You know why I'm not mad? - Why? Because you and me, we're going back to business as usual.
Back to selling good product at good prices.
I scratch your balls.
You scratch mine.
You know My old supplier, he was so sweet.
Like a virgin in a whorehouse.
But you know what, Frankie? I'm not going to even ask you if it is my virgin you're fucking.
I know it's not.
It can't be.
Because if it is, I-I get nervous and-and start wondering how convenient is it that Franklin was there when the cops arrived at my house and he was the only one that got away.
I got an appointment with the guy who gave me up.
Gonna pour gasoline down his throat and light a match, but next week! You and I.
We're going back to business.
Same deal as before.
My new place and number.
Nice catching up, Frankie.
I'll see you soon.
Yuda.
How the hell he get out anyway? My guess would be that he cut some kind of deal with the feds.
That house is full of drugs and guns.
What kind of deal Avi make gets him back on the street doing the same shit he went in for? He's rich, and he's white, - and that's just the deal.
- Yeah, well, maybe I'm the deal.
Maybe that motherfucker's out so he can set me up.
Maybe next time I see him, he's wearing a wire.
You think that motherfucker gonna let me frisk him? Come on.
You're being a little bit paranoid.
I'm a black man in America, God damn it! Hell, yeah, I'm paranoid.
You know, people of your complexion don't exactly have the best record when it comes to dealing with people like me.
And when it comes down to it, white people be afraid of blacks, but it should be the other way around, Mr.
Kidnapper.
Look.
Let me look into it.
And how you gonna do that? Let's just say that an LAPD paycheck doesn't go very far.
Sometimes cops need help.
Even if Avi ain't trying to set me up, he's still crazy.
Might have to take him up on his offer just so I can sleep at night.
You can't go back, man.
He told me he's on his way to kill the dude he thought sold him out, and when Avi talks like that, he's not being funny.
He's being real.
Just let me reach out to him.
I got a feeling I can - get him to leave you alone.
- How? There's some things that's probably better - you don't know.
- Right, yeah, right, and I should wear my helmet when I ride my bike, - look both ways when I cross the street.
- C'mon.
I gotta be there when you go, Reed.
Or I go back to working with Avi, man.
It's up to you.
We show up together, he's gonna know you betrayed him.
I can't protect you then.
So don't you think it's best if he hears it from us? See you soon, Reed.
- Bye.
- Ciao.
Hola.
Actually, yes.
Reed's coming to pick up his product today so when he shows up I'm gonna need you to help him with these crates out to his - No Reed today? - Something happened.
I hope that's not a problem.
Not as long you like avocados.
If the quantity is right, I like 'em plenty.
Oh.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
I got it.
Allow me.
Right in the back, guys.
Thank you.
So you're the one who flies the loads in, right? Uh, I've been known to fly a little from time to time.
You know, Soledad's never been in a plane.
Are you curious? You wanna give it a try? Here's your chance.
Matt can be your first time.
I don't know.
First times are not always fun.
Well, I have never had a girl complain to me about being her first.
She's great company.
You should take her with you on one of your Colombia trips.
Help pass the time.
I'm game if you are.
Maybe we should start with something a little closer to home.
What do you say? Okay.
I'll let you know.
Looking forward to it.
Ladies.
I did not appreciate that.
I'm just playing him.
By using me to lead him on.
Mm-mm.
He's gonna give up his supplier before he tries to fuck you.
Just keep working him.
You did great, by the way.
The hell are you looking for? Oh.
Uh I was gonna make a egg salad, but you out of mustard.
You thought I was looking for booze, didn't you? No.
I threw all that out the night you moved in.
Anyway, I don't have time for lunch.
Wait.
Now, uh Listen, I know it can't be easy with me being here.
Extra mouth to feed and all.
Well, how are you doing with the bills? Mortgage.
There's a I want to be able to try and help out if you need it.
The only thing I need is to finish getting dressed so I'm not late.
Renny? Know what you want, huh? Uh-huh, that shit feel good, don't it? - Ow! - Stop.

- It's your mother.
What about her? Well, it's the house.
She's three months behind.
I think she's gonna lose What the fuck you know about the house? Well, I had a little accident, and she took me in.
- Took you in? What? - Fuck you, Jerome.
You said we was going to Fatburger.
No, I said, "I was gonna go to Fatburger.

Oh, so it's like that? What y'all stupid-ass niggas looking at? Don't even think about calling me.

Everything all right? You high, man? If I was high, you'd know it, man.
Go help Peaches.
What up, man? Hold up, somebody say you can come in? Hey, hold on now.
I didn't come here to talk about me.
I saw the notices this morning.
But if you wanted to help your mama out.
- You have the means.
- Oh, I see.
Yeah.
There it is.
So I give you the money and you just gonna go give it to my moms, huh? No.
No.
It ain't like that.
Been like that since I was old enough to know what the word "deadbeat" meant.
Now, listen.
I said my piece.
Now, you do what you want.
I will.
Nice shoes.
Tell me what you think of this one.
It's got a longer runway, better coverage on approach and still easily accessible by Jeep.
Hmm.
I think I could get it in here.
What's with the hesitation? Is there anti-aircraft in the canopy? Look, it's not like I'm not having fun here.
I am.
But this was supposed to be temporary.
You remember? So now in addition to coke from Colombia you want to start delivering guns to Honduras and add that to the mix? - Hey, Matt? - Yeah? If you're thinking about leaving this would be a very bad time.
Well, is there gonna be a good time? Well, yeah, when we've won the war.
- I have a life to get back to.
- Come on.
What? - I mean, I saw your life.
- What? It's cutting up jackpots with local barflies.
Wow.
You're a fucking asshole.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm an asshole.
But, look.
You're not just a pilot.
You I trust you.
You're good at this.
You're good at all this, and you're better at talking to people than I am.
I need you.
Oh.
Then why don't you stop insulting me and start asking me questions about how I can make this work.
Okay, yes, you're right.
I'm sorry.
What is it that you need? Please, tell me.
I need more money.
And not just for Dad.
But to start up my own thing when this all ends.
- Your own thing? - Yeah.
I want to start a skydiving school.
Are you kidding? Why would I be kidding? I get paid to fly airplanes and jump out of them.
I can't think of anything better than that.
Okay, yeah.
No, yeah.
I mean, whatever you need, you got it.
Is that it? And no more dead bodies.
Moving them.
Disposing of them.
Nothing.
You want me to fly? That's what I agree to.
Yeah? Yeah, of course.
And the plane.
When this is done, I'm taking the plane home.
- You can buy another one.
- Okay.
Now you're pushing it.
All right, you have fun.
Okay, fine.
You can take the plane.
Is that it? Boy, it sounds like you need me, huh.
Oh, God.
Here we go.
We should just say I'm essential.
Yeah, let's say that.
The best big brother a guy could have.
A crackerjack pilot.
A world-renowned cocksman.
Okay, we're done here.
Is it true Alton's back at the house? - We'll talk later.
- We could talk right now.
It's none of your business who I let into my house.
- Excuse me.
- It's my business when he comes at me asking for handouts.
You know he tried to say it was for you? Some bullshit about you losing the house? Miss.
Miss.
Just a second.
You know he's only there to take advantage of you.
You know that, right? - Miss! Miss.
- Mama.
Come get it! Sissy, order's up.
Miss, I want more coffee.
Here's your fucking coffee.
Sissy, is everything okay? Everything's fine.
He can't be staying there.
You'll have no say about my life.
He hasn't changed.
I don't give a fuck about how clean he look.
Just remember.
I used to lay in bed all night listening to you cry over him.
Now he's the only reason I'm not crying in my bed every night.
Sissy, you got another order.
Thank you, ma'am.
Franklin was late.
I'm surprised the lady witch doctor didn't warn you.
You know I'm just teasing you, right? You don't believe in anything higher, do you? Okay, fine.
How did it go really? Is our future looking bright? She warned me.
You see how it curves? It means don't trust short Mexican women.
Especially the ones whose names rhyme with sandia.
Pedro, Soledad.
We have two hours to get everything ready for pickup.
Okay, you see this? These numbers do not match.
I think we missing a case of Hennessy.
- A whole damn box.
- Yeah.
Somebody about to get their ass beat.
Sure hope y'all ain't talking about me.
Hey.
- What's happening, handsome? - How you doing? - Hey.
- Good.
Make a phone call about this Henny.
Don't leave without saying good-bye.
Mm! Oh, we missed you for Christmas.
You missed me or you missed my cooking? Both.
- Wanda Bell stepped up.
- Okay.
Girl think if she can cook crack, she can cook ham.
Well, I ain't sorry I missed that.
How was your holiday? It was the shit.
Claudia took me to New York.
- New York, for real? - Yes.
Shopping on Fifth Avenue, the tree at Rockefeller Center.
And freezing yo' ass off.
We managed to keep warm.
It was amazing.
We went out every night.
The Danceteria in Manhattan.
Man, we trying bring some of that New York flavor up in here.
You okay? Shit ain't been the same since you left.
Avi's out of jail showing up at the house.
Alton moved back in with my moms.
Jerome's a mess.
- Franklin.
- There ain't no calm voice in the mix.
You know, no center.
But if you was there, it'd be perfect.
Franklin.
If you want to come here and catch up, baby, I am always happy to see you.
But don't do this.
You're really happy? As I've ever been.
The world is opening up.
Then I'm happy for you.
Mm, thank you.
I love you, Franklin.
Love you too.
Then we'll see you soon, okay? Mm-hmm.
- Maybe.
Maybe you'll see me.
- Maybe? We better.
Q-vo, Oso? Where's the party at? Close the door.
'Sup, Pedro? Fuck you been up to? Been meaning to ask.
How's the familia? Fuck you know about my family? - Or what? - I'm not talking to you.
This is Las Monarcas familia right here.
Las Monarcas control everything.
It's just you, these two, and the puta.
No mas, what Gabriella lets you.
I'm gonna carve my placa in your neck.
And you're gonna let me.
Ah! Lucia.
- Fuck.
- Pedro.
Flatten some boxes.
Put them on the floor in the office.
Wasn't my plan to see him.
So what? It just happened? It did.
And it definitely wasn't my plan for him to track you down.
But he did.
At my job.
You didn't think he'd have a reaction seeing you? Learning that you're staying here? Yeah, well, I said I'm sorry.
Excuse me, I ain't done speaking my mind.
He caused a scene, Alton.
I could have gotten fired.
I was wrong.
I admit it.
But I've seen the notices.
You're an inch away from losing this place.
Now, I've already been to the VA, and it's gonna take a while for me to reclaim my benefits.
- What I was thinking - Franklin ain't no savior.
Well, your brother I'm not gonna take no drug money handout.
You're willing to lose this house? Yes, I would fucking lose this house! Well I'm sorry.
I thought I was helping.
Hey, you've done you done right by me.
Nurse me back to life, and I'm gonna send you what I can when the benefits start to come in.
But I refuse to be more of a burden to you than I've been already, so tomorrow, I'm gonna move out.
But thank you for everything.
You are quite a woman.
And it's not like I didn't know that before.
Alton, wait.
You're such a goddamn man.
Hunt and gather and all that bullshit.
Really, you are.
You have never been less of a burden to me in your entire life.
Why don't you go get the ground beef out of the freezer to thaw.
I'll finish changing and We'll make dinner.
Get him the fuck out of my sight.
Can we talk about this? I treated you like a son.
I opened my home, my heart to you and this is how you pay me back? - No.
- I approached him.
I had to convince him that it was in his best interest to do business with me.
Then he's all yours.
Good luck with those pebbles.
I'm sure our paths will cross.
What's that supposed to mean? Whatever you want it to mean.
You're a big man now.
Don't fucking touch my rib eye.
What the fuck do you know about guns? Well, I know that you cut a deal with the ATF.
That's why you're walking free right now.
Oh, really? What's the deal? You gave someone up.
Right? And judging by this very nice hotel suite and all the extra security you got, I'm guessing it was someone big.
I mean, I'm surprised you're still in Los Angeles if I'm honest.
Why are we even talking about this? I am very much like you, Avi.
I am a man of eclectic interests.
So I'm thinking if you got a little wriggle room in this deal that you cut maybe we could help each other out.
Only place I don't have wriggle room is in my shorts.
What do you need? Handguns, assault rifles, submachines.
All you can get.
In bulk.
I can get an awful lot.
Well, then I'm gonna make you a very rich man.
You're getting my dick hard, Reed.
Here's the thing.
I don't care where you get 'em.
I only care that they are not U.
S.
-made and that you can deliver them somewhere outside the country where I can pick them up and fly them out.
You have a place in mind? Yeah, I hear that Panama is nice this time of year.
Panama is pretty nice all year round, actually.
- Really? - Yeah.
Good to know.
You understand that if we do this, it's by the book.
I need you to be dependable.
None of this cowboy bullshit.
When have you known me not to be dependable? I set this up, you better have the money to back it.
'Cause the people I use They don't get their money, it's your name I'm giving them.
Those, from Panama, those guns.
They make their way someplace interesting? - Let's go.
- No.
Not till Avi tells me we good.
You broke my heart, kid.
But when a bird grows hair on its balls he's gotta leave the nest! Just like that, huh? So we good? What can I say? My generosity knows no boundaries.
I just said I'll take care of it! I haven't shot a gun in years.
I learned from my father.
We used to hunt the javelinas that'd come into our backyard.
We didn't even kill for sport or food.
He just hated them.
You saved my life.
We are family now.
That is what we do.
I don't know about this.
Nobody comes here.
Andale.
How the fuck you squash it? It was Reed.
Pulled Avi aside and spoke to him alone in a room.
I don't know what he said, but that Reed got connections.
Pretty sure he got at least one cop on the payroll.
Are you surprised that the LAPD is corrupt? Hell, nah.
Just never expect to see that shit except the movies.
What's up, Kev? Hey, what the fuck happened to y'all? Some shit with the Mexican girls.
Yeah, we can see that.
Is you being careful with the ladies? Wait, I'm sorry.
Did you ask me to come let you know how it went? This is how it went.
What? You don't think I can find those Mexican motherfuckers? Think I'm too stupid? Not as good as the great holy Saint.
Yeah, think the whole fucking thing's too stupid.
I mean, look at y'all motherfuckers.
Man, this is a fucking joke.
Do you think this is a game? No, I don't think it's a fucking game, Saint.
You don't? Then why you acting like a fucking idiot? This shit ends tonight.
No more barrio manhunts.
It's done.
Saint.
- Saint! - It's done.
- Saint, ain't nobody - It's done.
Stupid motherfuckers, man.
Salud.
Better than any painkiller.
And when Stomper doesn't show up They will come.
We need to clean that room by morning.
- Oh, really? - Soledad, help Pedro.
I need to talk to Oso for a second.
Mm-hmm.
E Soledad Gracias.
No more shipments.
No more crack.
She's a fucking cop.
Or DEA.
But definitely the law.
- - The way she held that gun.
The way she stood.
She didn't miss a fucking shot.
That's muscle memory.
Then how are we not in jail? Because she's building a case, Oso.
Getting us, she wants more than she already has.
Our distributors.
La Fuerza.
All of us.
Either way, we're fucked.
Okay.
If she's a cop What does that make Pedro?
